Right a few from me. Also great races. Some very close ones. There was no need for that @Dcubed Just incase. @lostmario fell off the ledge because of the lightning. When Lakitu put him back on track at the bottom, him being bigger, squished me. Got you back good Dean OK, this was such a close finish that I had to look just how close. Two different views in MK TV and a screenshot. -
Bomberman 64: Arcade Edition JP release: 20th December 2001 EU release: N/A NA release: N/A Developer: Racjin Publisher: Hudson Soft N64 Magazine Score: N/A In Japan, the Bomberman 64 games were called “Baku Bomberman”, so when this compilation of Bomberman games was released in Japan, it was simply called Bomberman 64. To distinguish them, fans have dubbed this as “Arcade” edition. This Bomberman game is a collection of four games. Bomberman The main mode is a traditional Bomberman campaign. Blow up all the enemies and find the up and down exits to choose the next stage to progress to. It’s as fun as ever, and also features the classic multiplayer with a few options (although not a massive number of stages). It’s a really good version of classic Bomberman. Panic Bomber Panic Bomber is a colour match minigame where you place blocks (consisting of different colour Bomberman heads) to clear lines, and has been released on various consoles, including the Super Famicom and Virtual Boy. This version just features a score attack mode, so no story or multiplayer. SameGame SameGame is a puzzle game which originally released in 1985 under the name Chain Shot!. It has no previous association with Bomberman, so its inclusion is a bit random. You click on sets of coloured Bomberman heads to remove them from play, with the main objective to clear as many as you possibly can. Bomberman Park Bomberman Park is sort of a port/epilogue to the PS1 game Bomberman Land. It’s set after Bomberman has saved the park, and he has simply returned to have some fun. You get to explore the park (with some areas locked behind needing medals) and take part in a load of minigames. The series has had multiple games throughout the years. The minigames are all quite simple, but most are also enjoyable. There’s some duds, like sliding jigsaw puzzles and following a ball in a cup (or a bomb in a pipe for this version), but ones like sorting bombs or having to slice targets (and dodge bombs) are a lot of fun. This was the last N64 game in Japan, and also the best Bomberman game on the system, with a well made classic Bomberman mode and a great selection of extra games. Great Remake or remaster? There’s a finished fan translation that helps with the language issues, although an official English re-release would be nice. Official Ways to get the game There is no official way to play Bomberman 64: Arcade Edition. -
Oh, don't get me wrong, I totally agree. I just don't think Xbox -- or in this case, genuinely, I think more likely Microsoft -- care. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's an internal mandate for their games to be digital-only on other platforms, and I think any potential exceptions we see to that (such as Indy, potentially?) are being fought for by someone who wants the game preserved in that way. It really feels to me like Xbox are currently in the stage of being told to cash-in on anything and everything they can and maximise profits; hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they've been told they need to reach a certain revenue goal with the massive portfolio of developers that they now have for Phil and team to continue to prove their worth. As for Game Pass on PS5, it won't happen (anytime soon, at least) mainly because PlayStation have a competing subscription in the revamped PS+ as well as how it would potentially compete for sales – and Xbox are going to make much more money selling the games piecemeal than they are a subscription model. Would I like it? Hell yeah, but only purely because in this instance if it's digital-only, it would mean just paying for a few months of Game Pass vs buying the game outright (though, I suspect I'll play the game for long enough that buying it outright might actually work out cheaper for me?). I just struggle to see it happening. The gutting part for me is the lack of preservation this would obviously mean for the PS5 version, and the work done by the folks over at Panic Button in getting this port complete. For all their talk about game preservation and their great initiatives last gen around backwards compatibility, it's hard to not question their stance now with moves like this. Yeah, it's wild to see this for ports, and I totally agree – April 25th is Day 1, not the 29th. I guess the one thing I'll say is that it being a port of a 3½ year old game should mean it doesn't have the teething problems other "early access" types of deals do? I mean if people are willing to pay that price to play a game but earlier I don't think it means that they're necessarily dumb, it just shows how highly they value what's being sold, and that they agree with the valuation put on the premium you pay to play a bit earlier by the publisher obviously I'm saying that at the risk of sounding like I'm defending myself, which I'll admit I suppose I am In my instance, and I've said this plenty of times on here before: Forza Horizon 5 is the standout game I've been interested in from Xbox this gen, and I've been waiting for plenty more to come along which simply hasn't to convince me that a Series X is worth picking up. I have a PC but it's not powerful enough to run the game, and relegating a game of this scale to a Steam Deck just seems plain wrong to me. So, I can pay £55 to play a game I've been dying to for the last few years rather than dropping £500 on a whole other console and ecosystem? Awesome. An extra £30 for a few extra bits and bobs and to play the game for the first time on a Friday with my mates and make a day/weekend of it vs on a Tuesday? It's still costing me £400 less than buying an entire other console for this one game. Now, me buying the premium version of Star Wars Outlaws to get early access when I had little faith the game would be better than a 6/10 (& was way worse than that), would be in a functioning state, don't care for Ubisoft open worlds, and bought it purely because I'm a glutton for punishment at times as a Star Wars fan? That was dumb -
